Beschreibung

George A. Ogle was a map and atlas publisher operating in Chicago until 1907, the year of his death. He produced visually appealing maps of the county and its components. his maps from this atlas are very seldom seen on the market. The color was printed at the time of publication. This is a truly remarkable map that portrays urban Illinois and an industrial environment. To the right is Lake Michigan with a band on industrialization running the lakefront. In the lower band is Thomas Brass & Iron Co. Western Coal and Dock Co. has similar space at the docks. What is remarkable in addition id the visual record of the industrial transportation landscape. The Chicago & Northwestern has multiple tracks integrated with the industries but not with the Great Lakes boat slips. There are two major boat slips with commercial enterprises integrated into shipping by rail and by water. The Elgin, joliet and Eastern services the dock area. Slightly inland is the operations of the Chicago and Northwestern. Both have multiple tracks in situ. The latter has tracks leading into what appears to be residential lots. this would indicate that the entire blocks are devoted to factory outputs or railroad yards. Running along Washington Street is the W. F. L. & W Railway. The map is bounded by Edward Street on the north and Bluff Street on the south. This is a superb transportation and industrial-residential map for Illinois and beyond. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 428
